      The anti-climate change, pro-Walmart, pro-Starbucks whatever-era was annoying as fuck. Like you said, it’s not directly South Park but their annoying fans taking their shit too seriously.

      Internet threads talking about climate change had some “man bear big” bullshit going around.

      The thing is that I watched South Park during that time too and I loved a lot of the episodes. I just didn’t take their commentary too seriously. I’m just like, “well they’re obviously wrong”. I was a Richard Dawkins fan and had no problem with them skewering him at the time either.

      They at least admitted they were wrong on Man Bear Pig. Agree on the sentiment though they share a big part in creating the “enlightened centrist” bullshit

        This is being reported as being unrelated, and I also think this is better for a different community. Could you add some context for how it is related to Canada? I haven’t seen the episode myself. Else it might be better for places like !television@piefed.social or !casualconversation@piefed.social.

        If you were looking to discuss with other Canadians specifically, maybe we could use casual discussion community for that purpose?

        I wasn’t sure whether to put it here but yes, Canada’s involved in this episode so I thought other Canadians might want to know or talk about it. The thing with throwing it in a different Canada-discussion commhnity is that likey very few would see it and discuss, because we’re still relativey small overall. For that reason I think the approach which gets more people interested in Canada to see content relevnt to Canada is to use the topmost Canadian community - /c/Canada. As the number of users grows, the increased noise in this community would necessitate moving more topics to more specific communities, and at that point they’ll get more engagement there.

          Show begins 27th season covering Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount and cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show, depicting Trump in bed with Satan

          South Park has kicked off its 27th season with a blistering episode taking aim at Donald Trump and its newly minted parent company, Paramount, just one day after signing a $1.5bn deal with the network.

          The premiere episode, “Sermon on the Mount,” sees Trump in bed with series regular Satan and covers topics including Trump’s lawsuit against Paramount, the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, wokeness, Trump’s attacks on Canada and more.

          Unlike other characters, Trump is depicted as an actual photo of the US president on an animated body. There is also an extended scene featuring a hyper-realistic, deepfake video of Trump, completely naked, walking in a desert. There are repeated suggestions that Trump’s genitalia are small.

          So this was absolutely incredible. Anyone else seen it?

                This is the power of being on the air for 28 years, expecting to get cancelled since the start, and not caring if they do anymore. They can embrace risky content.

                Given CBS cancelled their top show, and is owned by Paramount, maybe this is the last show season that will finally set them free 😂

                They just got renewed for 5 years for $1.5 Billion, so I am thinking that either paramount can kiss the sale of their business good bye or kiss a lot of money good bye after settling with Trump then again with the creators of South Park.

                Edit fixed some spelling.

                        Did something from my comment give that impression? I haven’t removed the post yet if that’s the concern.

                        Someone reported this post as being unrelated to the topic of this community (Canada), and I’m following up on it by asking the poster to add context for why they posted it here. Most likely the post will stay up since it has a lot of discussion already.

                                They were ripping on all of those things. Man Bear Pig wasn’t climate-change denial it was commentary on climate change denial.

                                Can’t blame south park for conservatives not getting shit. That’s their thing.

                                  I meant that the fans were annoying as fuck. I think my post was to highlight that I enjoyed the episodes but hated the fans that came out of it.

                                  Trey and Matt aren’t like climate scientists or whatever, they’re comedy writers with a political edge. Even if they’re blatantly wrong with their commentary I don’t really blame them. It’s that we take them too seriously.

                                    Fair. I don’t interact with the people you do. But what you saying does explain why SP felt it necessary to spell it out in season 22. I’m guessing the guy in this scene is a parody of the folks you’re talking about.

                                    I always saw manbearpig as a scathing criticism of how everyone ignored Al Gore because the effects of climate change weren’t visibly in front of us.

                                      I set radarr up on one of my pi’s to get the episode. At the end of January through to mid April, I think, I was trying to write scripts (I barely know my way between a if and a fi but the scripts where written in bash) to automatically download things but when I finally got it working I told some friends about it who than smashed my hard work with telling me about the arr apps.

                                      I think I started with Jackett because it worked with my scripts and Transmission. The friend introduced me to Sonarr and Radarr so I set them up to replace my scripts. Something happened a little while ago and my home lab freaked out and decided to stop working so I had to rearrange my stuff. I went deeper into checking out the *arr apps and discovered that prowlarr would be so much better than Jackett.

                                      If something happens again I may look into other options but hopefully my current setup will work.

                                        Right wing shill mod. No surprises, people who pursue positions of power are all utterly fucking rotten. You’re no exception 🤢.

                                          The ending just about killed me. Couldn’t breathe for a few minutes there.
